Loaf of Life is a food donation platform designed to connect individuals, restaurants, and charitable organizations to reduce food waste and fight hunger. I developed and maintained the backend system, built with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB, ensuring secure and efficient handling of user authentication, donation management, and organization verification.
The backend also integrates AI-based image validation for donation submissions, JWT token authorization, and Cloudinary for image storage, delivering a reliable and scalable API that powers the entire platform.
